City Worker Fired for Turning in Found Gun
Ridiculous. City worker finds gun on mowed lawn, waits for cops who don't show, guy takes gun and turns it in after completing work. Good Job keeping a dangerous damaged gun off the streets, right? City fires 23-yr veteran for "possessing a firearm" at work. How stupid can people be on these "zero tolerance" type policies? Why can't we just weed all these idiots out and send them to the UK or something?

Because we are infected with them, like a disease that spreads and has no cure. They may be our downfall.

Truth is like the finest dagger ever made;
The steel cannot be dulled, chipped or broken.
Its thrust is deep and causes agonizing pain.
Those struck with the dagger of truth
must come to terms with the wicked lies
within their heart and soul.
No matter where you run or hide, nor how deep you dig your foxhole...the big green weenie WILL find you.

Maybe he was on the "list" and they were looking to push him out due to yrs tenured, prior transgressions @ work, etc. I worked at the state Dept of Trans. when I was in college and there were always a few guys who had been there forever that were not liked by HR or their supes...my gut tells me there is more to this story than just what was reported.

Having zero tolerance policies is wrong 100% of the time.
